What is it special about this course?

Themes
New themes, updated content, international topics, and a variety of text genres, including literature, lectures, as well as extensive use of authentic materials challenge students intellectually and prepare them for academic life.

Academic SkillsPurposeful integration of critical thinking and an enhanced focus on academic skills such as inferencing, synthesizing, notetaking, and test taking help students develop strategies for success in the classroom and on standardized tests. A culminating productive task integrates content, language and critical thinking skills.

• In Listening and Speaking, a structured approach gives students opportunities for more extended and creative oral practice, for example, presentations, simulations, debates, speeches, public service announcements and more.
• In Reading and Writing, a fully integrated writing section leads students through the writing process with engaging writing assignments focusing on various rhetorical modes.
